Suzugamine in the town of Kaiyo, Tokushima. "Ever since I started writing tanka, I've been taking notes on everything that catches my attention on my smartphone. If I don't, I'll forget, and it would be a waste to let those moments of inspiration slip away. Just now, I wrote down 'It's presumptuous to dress too warmly.' It made me think that bundling up simply because I'm worried about the cold isn't in line with what it means to be a living being; it shows I'm not listening to what my body is trying to tell me."
